Bug description:
  alsa-driver package was removed from Debian in 2012, and the newer
  alsa-base package in 2017. We should drop the reverse-depends on alsa-
  base and remove src:alsa-driver.

  apt-cache rdepends alsa-base
  alsa-base
  Reverse Depends:
    linux-sound-base
    xubuntu-desktop-minimal
    xubuntu-desktop
    vanilla-gnome-desktop
    ubuntustudio-desktop-core
    ubuntustudio-desktop
    ubuntukylin-desktop-minimal
    ubuntukylin-desktop
    ubuntucinnamon-desktop-minimal
    ubuntu-unity-desktop
    ubuntu-mate-desktop
    ubuntu-mate-core
    ubuntu-budgie-desktop-minimal
    ubuntu-budgie-desktop
    lubuntu-desktop
    kubuntu-desktop
    edubuntu-desktop-minimal
    ubuntu-desktop-minimal
    ubuntu-desktop

  but first apport/apport-symptoms needs to be fixed so that audio bugs
  will be filed against the kernel. After that alsa-base can be dropped
  from metas and the desktop-common seed.
